I would like to take a moment to tell my friends in Europe how I dig the way you speak.

Saying things like "bloody" and "straight away" makes me laugh. Not that it is funny to you but I am a yank.

ANd what is "stone" as in I ran for a long time and lost a stone?

Thanks you for the break.

OK, everybody back to feeling like hell again.

LOL

My family is from England so the accent is actually very comforting to me! I picked up on some of the words my dad says and also say them all the time. When I'm annoyed I say "oi" and I call people "love".

If you are from England, do you have a few pictures of Stonehenge? Those big rocks just fascinate the hell out of me..

I would laugh for hours if someone said that here in the US. It's funny how words mean different things.
I would probably use that term for a few weeks with such amusement. I'm going to tell my mom to quit smoking fags or she'll be pushing daisies.

Isn't it the Aussie equivalent of a chav?
